I'm afraid we really need to know what the error was.
I'm using SuSE 8.2 now so I know that the code does build on it. The=20
likelihood is that you're missing some additional package that=20
Rosegarden needs, and I can't tell which without seeing the error=20
message. It'll be somewhere near the end of the printed output, but=20
possibly a few lines back -- almost certainly starting with the=20
actual word "Error:".
One other thing to note is that the compiler included with SuSE 8.2=20
has some optimisation bugs. To work around these, instead of just=20
running ./configure in the Rosegarden directory, you should run
CXXFLAGS=3D"-O0" ./configure=20
to disable the optimiser. Otherwise you'll find playback stutters=20
horribly.

g'day.
I've been dabbling with Rosegarden for a while (since about 97/98?), and
I want to get a little more serious with it. There's stuff in current
development that is just excellent, so the last release is out of the
question. Only CVS will do.
However, I have a consistent problem. Fire up Rosegarden, insert a
bar, bring up Notation, drop in a half note and poof, Rosegarden is
gone! A whole not is cool, but not a half. Since nobody else appears
to suffer this, I fear I'm in the lonely world of local setup issues.
There's a debug-full log of the described actions at
http://www.hihone.net/rg/cal-2003-10-25-19
If anyone cared to skim through it and offer an opinion I'd be
grateful.The system is Debian unstable based, locally built
QT3.2.2 and KDE3.1.4, which seem sound witrh a mix of applications. I
build with gcc 3.3.2 (Debian).
Apart from my little notation problem, Rosegarden's great!
cheers, Cal

Well, I guess I don't know. Nothing is doing it for me automatically as far
as I can tell. I don't know how to tell my system to use it. Maybe this
requires some LADCCA master device like Rosegarden or something? My setup is
not purely Linux based, and my platform is really still Pro Tools connected
to the Linux box with a bunch of soft synths and sound processors running
their. Thing is I start Jack, then connect up a bunch of soft synths, and I
want them to get reconnected to the right playback ports, but that's never
happened. I need the synths to get reloaded with the right patches, etc.
It's a lot of stuff that has to happen.
Probably I just don't know how to use LADCCA. I should go look.
Cheers,
Mark

Yeah, had that one for a while. qjackctl is much nicer.

Doesn't the LADCCA stuff do that for you? How many clients have
implemented that now? Must be quite a few.

qjackconnect if you'd rather start Jack in a terminal for some reason. This
one seems quite handy though.
The larger issue I'm really waiting for someone to address is the
reconnection issue that would rebuild a whole slew of Jack client
connections, and along with that the ability I hope one day to stop and
restart the Jack server without having to kill, restart and reconnect all
the clients.
qjackctl is very handy.

Gilles,
You might want to try qjackctl. It makes starting, stopping and
connecting to the Jack server very simple.
Good luck,

If I use jack, no other applications can access audio, that's why I tried=20
aRTs. but if the only solution is to use alsa/jack, I'll do it :/

Can you play midi with KMid? Note that the real midi player is KMid, not
KMidi. The later is a soft synth that translates MIDI to wav output.
Fluidsynth is the soft synth that works for Rosegarden, just in case your
system doesn't have real hardware MIDI wavetable.

Just to review, as this may be of general interest and it's been a=20
while since we've had this thread in full: the situation in which you=20
need sfxload is when you have a soundcard with a built-in wavetable=20
MIDI synth (such as the SoundBlaster AWE and derivatives) that you=20
wish to use as a synth with Rosegarden.
You can tell if you have one of these synths on your card, because it=20
will appear as one (or more) of the available connections in the=20
dropdown menus on Rosegarden's "Manage MIDI Devices" dialog, with=20
some descriptive name probably related to the model of soundcard. =20
And you can tell if you need sfxload because a device set to that=20
connection will make no noise without it.
You don't need sfxload to use external MIDI synths, and you can't use=20
it with a card with an internal synth that is not SoundFont-based=20
(e.g. early FM SoundBlasters), and it's of no use if your soundcard=20
has no internal MIDI synth at all (common these days, including on=20
some SoundB lasters -- neither of my own machines has a synth on the=20
soundcard). In the latter case you probably want a soft synth such=20
as Fluidsynth instead.
> Could someone point me on how to get the utility ?
I can't actually remember where it comes from -- it may be part of the=20
ALSA utilities package. I think it was written by Takashi Iwai who=20
is one of the ALSA developers, so it's quite likely that it is=20
distributed with ALSA.

You might be a bit confused here. RG builds for either:
- ALSA (with or without JACK support for audio, LADSPA plugins etc)
- aRTs (but the support is old and undoubtedly flakey).
You should configure the ALSA drivers on your machine and then install or
rebuild RG for them. You won't see any configuration information for aRTS
ports in RG as we simply haven't coded for it.
